It is better to answer a different type of question than the usual we see here of "how come I did not get my points"...when nobody has gotten them and we had answered that question repeatedly, after awhile, we get tired of answering some of these questions because they are redundant.

There was one day towards the end of the month when the site was down for most of the day and most people could not log on or do most anything. So instead of allowing some people to get points and others to not...I am guessing that nobody did. We have seen this before. Like for the better part of a week last year around the time of Charlotte. I am not sure if this is the day in question or not, but it would make sense.

What I found out today is that if you logged in before the 5000 point reset, you got them then. Once the reset was done they brought you up to 5000. Then anybody who had not logged in until after the reset would get their 5 points for the day. The winners were those after about noon time who logged in for the first time all day.

Keep in mind that if posted anything shortly after midnight because of last nights race...that counts towards todays login. This system really sucks at times.

The same is happening to me that is happening to Crosson. When I go to "Weekly Picks", "My Points", "Points Standings", or "Games". If I click on "log in" (which I am already), it takes me to the Board Index. Need this fixed before two weeks from Sunday. I don't want to miss a week of racing.

Would have started a new topic for this question if I only knew how.

Don't bother looking. Regular users can't start new topics in this forum, only add posts to existing topics. Admins are the only ones who can start new topics here. The same thing goes for the VIP Garage Gang News forum.

Okay, I'll forget the new topic idea. But now for an answer to my original concern.

"The same is happening to me that is happening to Crosson. When I go to "Weekly Picks", "My Points", "Points Standings", or "Games". If I click on "log in" (which I am already), it takes me to the Board Index. Need this fixed before two weeks from Sunday. I don't want to miss a week of racing."

Is anyone else having this problem? I entered 3 drivers for the Weekly Picks game only to be asked to sign in. I am signed in. Don't know where to turn for an answer. I am blocked from playing as things are now.

Then there's the Garage Gang game that I played last year. The more I read about it, the more confused I get. I'll keep reading the posts till the deadline and pick something. I feel pretty stupid right about now.

Don't feel stupid my friend. Did you ever wonder why we have over 5000 people now that are part of this "gang" and very few of them post to any threads? I mean think about it, all these people and only about 25 playing for that trophy that JSW created? What does that tell you. Better yet, it felt like last year...to my family anyway...that the rules got added to or changed part way through the season and that is why my family stopped playing...but don't let me deter you as that is my opinion and I am entitled to it as there are others who will take objection to it and will have some harsh words for me, but that is why I won't be playing it again this year. The rest of my family has not made up their minds yet. I do know that my daughter is finding the whole thing confusing and when she can't wrap her head around something...well you know what they say about red-heads and their tempers.

Anyway, as for the weekly picks, last I checked they still did not have all the drivers up there yet and as I remember correctly...it does not go active until the week of the Daytona 500 as that is the first official points race. So I would picture that somewhere between the 17th and the 19th, that one will open up so people can make their picks and they will lay out the ground rules for this season as they had said at the end of last season that there were going to be some changes to the way things were being done on that side of things. As for the games section, I don't play them and therefore I can't answer your questions about that area. I hope this helps with some of it.
